Paying for ITOP Courses

The ten two-credit ITOP courses are currently offered as Boston University Extension Courses. For the academic year 2008 – 09, the price per credit is $286 (or $572 per two-credit course). The BU price per credit changes each year with the beginning of the summer semester.

In addition to tuition, there is a registration fee of $40 paid once each semester.

Through December, 2010, there is financial assistance through a grant from the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education (MBHE). In-service teachers are eligible for this support. Preference for tuition assistance is given to teachers from high needs districts.
